Volkswagen’s ‘Sunny Side’

How’s this for a viral advertising strategy? Get a bunch of people together who have already starred in viral ads. That’s what Volkswagen does in “Sunny Side,” a good old-fashioned singalong led by reggae legend Jimmy Cliff belting out The Partridge Family’s “Come On Get Happy” with a roster of recognizably sad and furious YouTube “stars,” including eHarmony cat lady, angry politician Phil Davison and “Sad Packer Fan.” Volkswagen has created some of the more memorable Super Bowl ads over the last few years, including 2011’s viral hit “The Force” (which currently has 54 million views on YouTube). While this year’s ad doesn’t have quite the pop of previous spots, the fact that they rounded up viral celebs like video game-smashing guitar guy and crazed baseball manager Phil Wellman already has people talking.

Buzz Aldrin's Cycler based travel to MARS using six such Cyclers staggered in orbit between Earth and MARS would be ideal. Elon Musk is one visionary who can accomplish regular visits to MARS and back!

Elon Musk is a great legend ripe for the US Space Age of today but way ahead of his time. He has realized his dreams in exploiting the Internet through founding his Billion dollar company PayPal, in promoting sustainable energy production like through his company SOLAR CITY, his promotion of sustainable energy consumption like through his all electric car company TESLA and his vision to promote space travel through his company SPACEX and is making progress successfully by leaps and bounds.

SpaceX is our answer to Space Exploration and a visit to settle on MARS and an Asteroid. An offshoot to our MARS exploration should building an Asteroid avoidance system before 2039 which is of prime importance.

Elon Musk made his first fortune selling PayPal to eBay in 2002. Now NASA is using his SpaceX to resupply the International Space Station while shares of his Tesla electric car company gained 10% last year. Next up: SolarCity, run by Musk's cousin Lyndon Rive, wants to put solar panels on your home

The numerous despicable attempts to restrict voting made during the last election cycle are proof of that. Anyone who truly believes the VRA is obsolete needs to recognize, given last year's voter suppression efforts, the Jim Crowe era is biding its time. Now even if you are dumb enough to believe that all is OK with the world and there are no reasons to have the voting rights act on the books. Then why are the the parties at opposite end's on this? Why are the Republicans in America trying to keep people from the poles ? The argument is that VRA is discriminatory against Southern states to require them but not other states to seek pre-clearance for voting laws; I actually agree. The Voting Rights Act should require *ALL* states to seek pre-clearance. After what we've seen the GOP try to pass in states all across the nation prior to the last 2012 election, I see no reason this safeguard against voter suppression should be limited to just Southern states as suggested by VRA of 1965 but now should be expanded to apply to ALL 50 states.Ajay Jainajain31@gmail.comTwitter @ajain31Mobile: 214-207-9781
